Yakuza Ishin confirmed for PS3, PS4, and PS Vita in Japan

Following our speculation, it was announced that Yakuza Ishin will be a PS4 launch title in Japan, and is also releasing on the PS Vita. Still no word on cross-play though. Some are saying that the announcement of it being a PS4 launch title gives it slight hope that it may release on the PS4 outside of Japan, perhaps even at launch in other regions. The translated trailer above shows just how gruesome the game will be, and will get any fan excited.

I can’t help but continue to compare this series to Grand Theft Auto’s popularity in the states since that game is releasing next week. It’s amazing how many new and fresh things are being attempted with Yakuza while GTA hasn’t changed much in design aside from its size since the PS2 days.
